DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Overview

A vehicle control system performs an instruction or cancellation of a vehicle operation based on an operation instruction or an operation prohibition instruction with respect to a terminal device mounted on a user. Alternatively, the vehicle control system performs human body communication via the user having the terminal device mounted thereon to control the vehicle operation. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce a likelihood of the operation of the vehicle being executed by a third party.

Hereinafter, each embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First Embodiment

Configuration

FIG. 1 illustrates a functional block diagram of a vehicle control system 11 according to the first embodiment. The vehicle control system 11 includes a terminal device 110 and a vehicle 210.

The terminal device 110 is a small device including an ear mounting unit that is a mounted on an ear of a user. The terminal device 110 includes a user identification unit 111, an output unit 112, an input unit 113, an operation instruction unit 114, a notification unit 115, a first verification unit 116, and a first communication unit 117. The output unit 112 includes a speaker capable of emitting sound to an external ear canal (hereinafter referred to as an earhole) of the user. The input unit 113 includes an identification microphone that collects acoustic reflected sound in the earhole of the user, and an utterance microphone that collects uttered sound of the user. The input unit 113 has a function of recognizing voice from the collected uttered sound of the user. The vehicle 210 includes an operation controller 211, a second verification unit 212, and a second communication unit 213. Each of the terminal device 110 and the vehicle 210 may have a controller that appropriately controls an operation of each of the above-described units. The notification unit 115 generates content of notification for the user as voice or the like, and causes the output unit 112 to output the notification.

Process

FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram illustrating a process of the vehicle 210 and the terminal device 110. This process will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

Step S101: The terminal device 110 performs earhole identification. The earhole identification may be performed when the terminal device 110 is mounted on the ear and may be then performed periodically or may be performed before any operation each time the terminal device 110 performs the operation. The user identification unit 111 of the terminal device 110 emits an identification sound from the output unit 112 to the ear canal, acoustic reflected sound of the identification sound is acquired by the identification microphone of the input unit 113, and characteristics of the acoustic reflected sound are compared with characteristics of an acoustic reflected sound of the user registered in advance to identify user. In the case of identification failure, the subsequent processes are not performed and this sequence is ended. The identification sound may be a sound in an audible band or may be a sound in an inaudible band such as ultrasonic waves. In the case of the sound in the audible band, the user can recognize that the identification process is performed through the sound. In the case of the sound in the inaudible band, a notification may be sent to the user by voice such as “the identification is performed” before the identification process.

Step S102: When the terminal device 110 enters a range in which communication with the vehicle 210 is possible, the first communication unit 117 of the terminal device 110 performs wireless communication with the second communication unit 213 of the vehicle 210, for example, upon reception of a radio signal periodically transmitted by the vehicle 210. FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a range 500 in which the vehicle 210 and the terminal device 110 can wirelessly communicate with each other. The range 500 is, for example, in a range of about 10 m or less from the vehicle. The wireless communication may be controlled by the first verification unit 116 of the terminal device 110 and the second verification unit 212 of the vehicle 210, and collation may be performed as to an identifier of the terminal device 110 matches a regular identifier registered in the vehicle 210 in advance through communication to perform verification. Alternatively, collation may be performed as to an identifier of the vehicle 210 matches a regular identifier registered in the terminal device 110 in advance to perform verification. In the case of verification failure, subsequent processes are not performed and this sequence is ended.

Step S103: When the verification in step S102 is successful, the notification unit 115 of the terminal device 110 drives the output unit 112 to perform a notification to the user. Accordingly, the user can recognize that the terminal device 110 has entered the range in which communication with the vehicle 210 is possible. A method of the notification is not limited. The notification may be performed by a voice that is output from the speaker of the output unit 112, or the output unit 112 may include a vibrator and perform the notification through vibration. Voice is easier to understand, but the voice is annoying when the voice is frequent, and therefore, a degree of vibration felt by the user may be used. Either the voice or the vibration may be selected by the user.

Step S104: When the user receives the notification, the user issues an instruction to execute a predetermined operation of the vehicle 210. The instruction can be made, for example, by uttering predetermined words such as “unlock a door” or “open a door”. The voice is input to the utterance microphone of the input unit 113 of the terminal device 110. The operation instruction unit 114 of the terminal device 110 receives the input predetermined words as an operation instruction for the vehicle. Here, the same earhole identification as in step S101 may be performed and identification of the uttering user may be performed.

Step S105: The operation instruction unit 114 of the terminal device 110 transmits a signal indicating the received operation instruction to the vehicle 210 via the first communication unit 117.

Step S106: The operation controller 211 of the vehicle 210 receives the signal indicating the operation instruction from the operation instruction unit 114 of the terminal device 110 via the second communication unit 213 and executes an operation such as door unlocking according to the signal. The sequence is then ended.

Effects

According to the above process, the user can recognize that the terminal device 110 enters the range in which communication with the vehicle 210 is possible and that the operation of the vehicle according to this embodiment can be executed. Thereafter, the user can cause the vehicle to execute the operation by performing utterance to the mounted terminal device 110. Accordingly, even when a communicable area is wider than in the related art, it is possible to further reduce a likelihood that a third party near the vehicle causing the vehicle to execute the operation.

Second Embodiment

Configuration

FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of a vehicle control system 12 according to a second embodiment. The vehicle control system 12 includes a terminal device 120 and a vehicle 220. The terminal device 120 has the same functional block configuration as the terminal device 110 in the first embodiment. The vehicle 220 further includes a manipulation detection unit 224 in the vehicle 210 according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment will be mainly described, and description of the same or corresponding features will be omitted or simplified.

Process

FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram illustrating a process of the vehicle 220 and the terminal device 120. This process will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

Step S201: The terminal device 120 identifies the user through earhole identification, as in step S101 of the first embodiment.

Step S202: When the terminal device 120 enters a range in which communication with the vehicle 220 is possible, the terminal device 120 and the vehicle 220 perform wireless communication with each other and perform identification, as in step S102 of the first embodiment.

Step S203: The notification unit 115 of the terminal device 120 notifies the user that the verification in step S202 has been successful, as in step S103 of the first embodiment.

Step S204: A case in which, in this step to step S208, the user performs a predetermined manipulation such as touching a door handle with respect to the vehicle 220 with intention of causing the vehicle to perform an operation such as door unlocking will be described. In this step, when the user performs the predetermined manipulation, the manipulation detection unit 224 of the vehicle 220 detects the manipulation.

Step S205: The manipulation detection unit 224 of the vehicle 220 transmits a signal indicating that the predetermined manipulation has been performed via the second communication unit 213 and notifies the terminal device 120 of the fact. The operation instruction unit 114 of the terminal device 120 receives the signal via the first communication unit 117.

Step S206: The operation instruction unit 114 of the terminal device 120 causes the notification unit 115 to execute notification to the user according to the signal received in step S205. For example, when the predetermined manipulation is a touch manipulation with respect to the door handle, the notification unit 115 outputs a voice “unlock the door” or “Please perform a stop action when you want to stop unlocking” in addition to this from the speaker of the output unit 112. Through this step, when a manipulation not intended by the user is performed on the vehicle, the user can be reliably notified of this, but when the third party is nearby, this can be noticed and the notification is annoying to some users. Therefore, this step may be omitted. The notification may be executed through vibration. It may be able to be customized by user whether or not the notification is executed.

Step S207: The operation instruction unit 114 of the terminal device 120 waits for a predetermined prohibition instruction to be input from the user for a predetermined period from the notification in step S206. The prohibition instruction input will be described below. The operation controller 211 of the vehicle 220 also waits for the same period as in the operation instruction unit 114. The operation instruction unit 114 may cause the user identification unit 111 to execute the same earhole identification as in step S201 and perform identification of the user. It is desirable for the predetermined period to be, for example, equal to or greater than 0.5 seconds and equal to or smaller than one second.

Step S208: Since there is no prohibition instruction that is input from the user for a predetermined period in this step, the vehicle 220 executes the operation of the vehicle according to the predetermined manipulation detected in step S204. The sequence is then ended.

Step S214: In this step to step S218, a case where a third party other than the user is near the vehicle and performs a predetermined manipulation such as touching of a door handle with respect to the vehicle 220 with intention of causing the vehicle to perform an operation such as door unlocking without a legitimate right or a case where the user cancels the operation of the vehicle based on the above-described manipulation when the user or the third party accidentally or erroneously performs the above-described manipulation will be described. In this step, when the predetermined manipulation as described above is performed, the manipulation detection unit 224 of the vehicle 220 detects the manipulation, as in step S204.

Step S215: The manipulation detection unit 224 of the vehicle 220 transmits a signal indicating that the predetermined manipulation has been performed and notifies the terminal device 120 of the fact, as in step S205.

Step S216: The operation instruction unit 114 of the terminal device 120 causes the notification unit 115 to execute a notification to the user, as in Step S206.

Step S217: The operation instruction unit 114 of the terminal device 120 waits for a predetermined prohibition instruction to be input from the user for a predetermined period from the notification in step S216. The operation instruction unit 114 of the terminal device 120 may perform the identification of the user by causing the user identification unit 111 to execute the earhole identification, as in step S207. In this step, since the user does not intend to operate the vehicle, the operation instruction unit 114 performs a prohibition instruction. The prohibition instruction can be performed, for example, by uttering predetermined words such as “Do not unlock the door”. The voice is input to the utterance sound microphone of the input unit 113 of the terminal device 120. A method of inputting the instruction is not limited thereto and, for example, when the input unit 113 includes a motion sensor, the user can perform the instruction input through an operation of shaking his or her head twice.

Step S218: The operation instruction unit 114 of the terminal device 120 transmits a signal indicating the received prohibition instruction to the vehicle 220 via the first communication unit 117. The operation controller 211 of the vehicle 220 receives a signal indicating an operation instruction from the operation instruction unit 114 of the terminal device 110 via the second communication unit 213 and cancels an operation such as door unlocking based on a manipulation such as the touch of the door handle received in step S214 according to the signal. The sequence is then ended.

Effects

According to the above process, the user can recognize that the terminal device 120 enters a range in which communication with the vehicle 220 is possible and that the operation can be executed by the manipulation with respect to the vehicle according to the present embodiment. Even when a predetermined manipulation is performed by a third party, the user can cancel the operation of the vehicle according to the manipulation of the third party. Accordingly, even when a communicable area is wider than in the related art, it is possible to further reduce a likelihood that a third party near the vehicle causing the vehicle to execute the operation.

Third Embodiment

Configuration

FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram of a vehicle control system 13 according to a third embodiment. The vehicle control system 13 includes a terminal device 130 and a vehicle 230. The terminal device 130 does not include the operation instruction unit 114 in the terminal device 110 according to the first embodiment, and further includes a first human body communication unit 137. The vehicle 230 further includes a second human body communication unit 235 in the vehicle 210 according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, differences between the third embodiment and the first embodiment will be mainly described, and description of the same or corresponding features will be omitted or simplified.

Process

FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram illustrating a process of the vehicle 230 and the terminal device 130. This process will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

Step S301: The terminal device 130 identifies the user through earhole identification, as in step S101 of the first embodiment.

Step S302: When the terminal device 130 enters a range in which communication with the vehicle 220 is possible, the terminal device 130 and the vehicle 230 perform wireless communication with each other and perform verification, as in step S102 of the first embodiment.

Step S303: The notification unit 115 of the terminal device 130 notifies the user that the verification in step S302 has been successful, as in step S103 of the first embodiment.

Step S304: When the user performs a predetermined manipulation, the second human body communication unit 235 of the vehicle 230 detects the manipulation. The second human body communication unit 235 has an electrode provided at a position with which the user comes into contact according to various manipulations, such as a door handle, an engine startup switch, or a brake pedal.

Step S305: The first human body communication unit 137 of the terminal device 130 has an electrode that comes into contact with the ear of the user or the like in a state in which the user has the terminal device 130 mounted thereon (or, an electrode located very close to the ear or the like without coming into contact with the ear or the like). Therefore, when the user performs a predetermined manipulation in step S302, a path of human body communication in which a body of the user is used as a communication path is formed between the first human body communication unit 137 and the second human body communication unit 235. In this step, the terminal device 130 and the vehicle 230 perform verification through human body communication. The verification includes, for example, a notification of an identification result in steps S301 and S302 or a new verification process between the terminal device 130 and the vehicle 230 using human body communication. Earhole identification may be performed again in this step. When the identification as described above fails, subsequent processes are not executed and the sequence is ended.

Step S306: When the verification is successful in step S305, the operation controller 211 of the vehicle 230 executes an operation such as door unlocking based on the predetermined manipulation performed in step S302. The sequence is then ended.

Effects

According to the above process, the user can recognize that the vehicle 230 is nearby according to the terminal device 130 entering the range in which communication with the vehicle 230 is possible. Since the verification through human body communication with the vehicle can be performed according to a predetermined manipulation of the user having the terminal device 130 mounted thereon, it is possible to further reduce a likelihood of a third party near the vehicle causing the vehicle to execute an operation even when the communicable area is wider than in the related art.

Since the verification between the terminal device 130 and the vehicle 230 can be performed through the human body communication in step S304, step S302 may be omitted when the notification in step S303, that is, the notification of the fact that the vehicle is nearby is not needed. In this case, the wireless communication is not needed.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the door unlocking has been described as an example of the operation of the vehicle that is a control target, but the embodiment is not limited thereto, and various operations such as door locking, engine startup, opening of a trunk, and opening of a fuel filler port may be control targets for further improvement of convenience.

The terminal device may have a configuration in which, for example, all of the units are included in the ear mounting unit to be mounted on the ear of the user or may have a configuration in which at least the output unit is included in the ear mounting unit, the other units are included in a mobile terminal device such as a smartphone, and the ear mounting unit and the mobile terminal device may perform wireless or wired communication.

The embodiment can be regarded not only as a system including a terminal device and a vehicle, but also as a method that is executed by a single body of a terminal device or a single vehicle, or one or more computers including a processor, or a program thereof.
